Imagine if in the first Semi Final or the Grand Final of Eurovision, instead of announcing they're good to go, they announce they're not good to go and after some confusion announce Israel are disqualified for voting irregularities/manipulation on the spot

@lukeakehurst You're certainly committed to rapidly retweeting every single person who supports Starmer. The desperation is quite something

The Wes Streeting coup. Imagine watching Labour's support collapse in urban England to the Greens... and concluding Wes Streeting is the answer. And although Labour lost far fewer of its voters to Reform, imagine thinking Wes Streeting would win them back, either. Amazing!

BREAKING: Wes Streeting appears to have moved against Keir Starmer tonight. After getting through the day the prime minister now looks in increasing peril. — Several of Streeting’s allies including his PPS Joe Morris and constituency neighbour Jas Athwal have called for Starmer to go in the last two hours, leading to intense speculation that the health secretary is preparing to imminently challenge the PM for his job. — Labour MPs and aides say developments could now happen quickly if momentum continues to build. A loyalist says it’s now a matter of when not if. — A Labour official says they believe several Cabinet members are ready to tell the PM he has to set a timetable for his departure if it becomes clear he has lost the authority of the backbenches. They think if the number of public dissenters heads toward three figures that will happen. — However Cabinet aides insist we are not there yet and they don’t think the whole Cabinet is yet ready to move. One notes that Streeting’s allies appear to have gone after markets closed, after gilts dropped on Monday on the political instability. There will be a lot of attention on market open tomorrow. — Streeting is silent but there appears to be an orchestrated plot by his supporters to call for Starmer to go so he can move. There was disappointment among some of Streeting’s allies today that he has not moved already but it now feels increasingly inevitable. — Burnham’s allies say he will soon be ready to show he has a route to parliament. He has pulled out of a long-planned speech at a conference tomorrow. It’s unclear if that’s because he has a bigger announcement to make. — Labour MPs say the question now is whether Streeting will wait for the cabinet move, or go over the top himself.

@jaimytweets "Would bring the Competition into disrepute" So basically what Israel are doing now and have been doing for years then?

For a decade UK eurofans have used the argument of incremental improvements “we’re heading in the right direction” “baby steps” “ at least it’s better than last year” Just to spiritually end up at Electro Velvet again

@AfterLiverpool What would you do instead? This is the best and most exciting entry we've had since Sam Ryder. It won't score on the level of Sam Ryder but I think our position right now is up in the air. But It's easy to slag on the UK just to get likes and reacts. So what would you do?

@superTV247 The song itself with Sam's stage presence should hopefully do enough to work the crowd without the forced bit added on, forcing the crowd to react to you doesn't always work at Eurovision 2/2

@doomsdayranga Well that would surely lead to being expelled from the contest following the chaos of 2024, right?

@MikeTappTweets At least she's trying to do something. This course cannot continue Mike and as reported so many were saying on the doorstep how Keir is the problem and they couldn't vote Labour again with Keir as PM

From Downing Street: Keir Starmer said yesterday he would set out the next steps in his plan to build a stronger and fairer Britain in the coming days. Today he has appointed Harriet Harman as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Women and Girls. The PM committed to do more to eradicate structural misogyny and achieve a cultural change. This appointment will help to accelerate progress.
